Hourglass

Mm mm mm
She was low
He didn't know her, but he cared
He picked her up, set her straight
She didn't know him, but she cared
Mm mm mm
They were close, inseparable
He was in love, she didn't know
He taught her of Dvorak and wine
Outcast together, a world of time

Hourglass ends falling slow
While he hangs on and she lets go
You can't love her, it's not enough
The time you've given she just gave up
And she didn't need to be dragging him down
Oh, hourglass ends falling slow
While he hangs on and she lets go

Mm mm mm
Years later, it was him who was low
She should have seen it
But she wasn't looking
Why wasn't she looking?
Mm mm mm
He was no longer in love, though loved her completely
She loved him the way she always had
Words strong, actions weak
She should have lifted him up

Hourglass ends falling slow
While he hangs on and she lets go
You can't love her, it's not enough
The time you've given she just gave up
And she never thought she was dragging him down
Hourglass ends falling slow
While he hangs on and she lets go

He had enough
And ended the life he knew with her
He never again returned her calls
Or called her name
She called his
But he never came

Hourglass ends falling slow
While she hangs on and he lets go
You can't love him, it's not enough
The time he's given you just gave up
And she never thought she was dragging him down
Oh, hourglass ends falling slow
While she hangs on, but he's let go

She was low
He didn't know
He didn't care
